I remember the first time I heard “My Hero”. I was already a Nirvana fan, and I remember the radio DJ explaining that this song was written by the Nirvana drummer about Kurt.
I’ve been a Foo Fighters fan ever since, and Sarah’s level of love for the Foo Fighters eclipses mine. So, to attend Taylor’s tribute was a simple way to say thank you for 25 years of amazing music.
I figured that Dave (and the rest of the Foo) would play My Hero, and that I would cry. But instead, Taylor’s 16 year old son, Shane, played drums for My Hero. And honestly, Shane killed it: to hear thousands of people sing with Dave while Shane crushed the drums – it was a feeling of pure joy.
And then Dave sang “Everlong” alone. And I cried.
Thanks Taylor for 25 and many more years of great music.
